Joe M's Orange Mead

I finally got the camera back from the deer hunters so I could take some pictures.

Here's the side view. Can't just look at it from the top.

Wow!

Looks very pretty. How are you going to get the orange wedges out? Did you start it in the carboy or a bucket?

[Prairie Wine]

I followed the directions in the recipe to the best of my ability. I started it right in the carboy. I had to default to a wine yeast as my bread yeast was dead. :dead: I am going to try to continue to follow the directions (This is a real challenge for me!) and not remove anything from it until it's done. We'll see how that goes though! I rarely do anything at home while following directions. I think it's to compensate for always following directions at work. No one is going to fire me here if I don't do as they say!

2 1/2 gallons clearing slowly, i took the oranges and stuff out because it was starting to look gunky

Tasting Done

We took a taste yesterday. Oh my is it sweet right now! The little yeasties are still going strong though, so I'm hoping it dries up a lot. Could choke on it's sweetness! I really didn't taste any alcohol in it, probably over powered by the sweetness.
